1. System Overview
The CP2103 is a highly-integrated USB-to-UART Bridge Controller providing a simple solution for updatingRS-232/RS-485 designs to USB using a minimum of components and PCB space. The CP2103 includes a USB2.0 full-speed function controller, USB transceiver, oscillator, EEPROM, and asynchronous serial data bus (UART)with full modem control signals in a compact 5x5 mm QFN-28 package (sometimes called “MLF” or “MLP”). Noother external USB components are required.
The on-chip EEPROM may be used to customize the USB Vendor ID, Product ID, Product Description String,Power Descriptor, Device Release Number, and Device Serial Number as desired for OEM applications. TheEEPROM is programmed on-board via the USB, allowing the programming step to be easily integrated into theproduct manufacturing and testing process.
Royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers provided by Silicon Laboratories allow a CP2103-basedproduct to appear as a COM port to PC applications. The CP2103 UART interface implements all RS-232/RS-485signals, including control and handshaking signals; so, existing system firmware does not need to be modified. Thedevice also features up to four GPIO signals that can be user-defined for status and control information. Supportfor I/O interface voltages down to 1.8 V is provided via a VIO pin. In many existing RS-232 designs, all that isrequired to update the design from RS-232 to USB is to replace the RS-232 level-translator with the CP2103.Direct access driver support is available through the Silicon Laboratories USBXpress driver set. Go towww.silabs.com for the latest application notes and product support information for CP2103.
An evaluation kit for the CP2103 (Part Number: CP2103EK) is available. It includes a CP2103-based USB-to-UART/RS-232 evaluation board, a complete set of VCP device drivers, USB and RS-232 cables, and completedocumentation. Contact a Silicon Labs sales representatives or visit www.silabs.com to order the CP2103Evaluation Kit.

4. USB Function Controller and Transceiver
The universal serial bus function controller in the CP2103 is a USB 2.0 compliant full-speed device with integratedtransceiver and on-chip matching and pull-up resistors. The USB function controller manages all data transfersbetween the USB and the UART as well as command requests generated by the USB host controller andcommands for controlling the function of the UART.
The USB Suspend and Resume signals are supported for power management of both the CP2103 device as wellas external circuitry. The CP2103 will enter Suspend mode when Suspend signaling is detected on the bus. Uponentering Suspend mode, the CP2103 asserts the SUSPEND and SUSPEND signals. SUSPEND and SUSPENDare also asserted after a CP2103 reset until device configuration during USB Enumeration is complete.
The CP2103 exits the Suspend mode when any of the following events occurs: (1) Resume signaling is detected orgenerated, (2) a USB Reset signal is detected, or (3) a device reset occurs. Upon exit from Suspend mode, theSUSPEND and SUSPEND signals are de-asserted.
Both SUSPEND and SUSPEND temporarily float high during a CP2103 reset. If this behavior is undesirable, astrong pulldown (10 k) can be used to ensure SUSPEND remains low during reset. See Figure 6 for otherrecommended options.
Figure 6. Typical Connection Diagram
Option 1: A 4.7 k pull-up resistor can be added to increase noise immunity.Option 2: A 4.7 µF capacitor can be added if powering other devices from the on-chip regulator.Option 3: Avalanche transient voltage suppression diodes should be added for ESD protection. Option 3: Use Littlefuse p/n SP0503BAHT or equivalent.Option 4: 10 k resistor to ground to hold SUSPEND low on initial power on or device reset.

5. Asynchronous Serial Data Bus (UART) Interface
The CP2103 UART interface consists of the TX (transmit) and RX (receive) data signals as well as the RTS, CTS,DSR, DTR, DCD, and RI control signals. The UART supports RTS/CTS, DSR/DTR, and X-On/X-Off handshaking.
The UART can be programmed to support a variety of data formats and baud rates. If the Virtual COM Port driversare used, the data format and baud rate are set during COM port configuration on the PC. If the USBXpress driversare used, the CP2103 is configured through the USBXpress API. The available data formats and baud rates arelisted in Table 9.
6. GPIO Pins
The CP2103 supports four user-configurable GPIO pins for status and control information. More informationregarding the configuration and use of these pins can be found in “AN144: CP21xx Device Customization Guide”and “AN223: Port Configuration and GPIO for CP210x” available at www.silabs.com.
7. Internal EEPROM
The CP2103 includes an internal EEPROM that may be used to customize the USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID(PID), Product Description String, Power Descriptor, Device Release Number, and Device Serial Number asdesired for OEM applications. If the EEPROM is not programmed with OEM data, the default configuration datashown in Table 10 is used.
While customization of the USB configuration data is optional, it is recommended to customize the VID/PIDcombination. A unique VID/PID combination prevents the driver from conflicting with any other USB driver. Avendor ID can be obtained from www.usb.org, or Silicon Labs can provide a free PID for the OEM product that canbe used with the Silicon Laboratories VID. It is also recommended to customize the serial number if the OEMapplication is one in which it is possible for multiple CP2103-based devices to be connected to the same PC.
The internal EEPROM is programmed via the USB. This allows the OEM's USB configuration data and serialnumber to be written to the CP2103 on-board during the manufacturing and testing process. A stand-alone utilityfor programming the internal EEPROM is available from Silicon Labs. A library of routines provided in the form of aWindows® DLL is also available. This library can be used to integrate the EEPROM programming step into customsoftware used by the OEM to streamline testing and serial number management during manufacturing. TheEEPROM has a typical endurance of 100,000 write cycles with a data retention of 100 years. USB descriptors canbe locked to prevent future modification.

8. CP2103 Device Drivers
There are two sets of device drivers available for the CP2103 devices: the Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers and theUSBXpress Direct Access drivers. Only one set of drivers is necessary to interface with the device. The latestdrivers are available at http://www.silabs.com/products/microcontroller/downloads.asp.
8.1. Virtual COM Port DriversThe CP2103 Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers allow a CP2103-based device to appear to the PC'sapplication software as a COM port. Application software running on the PC accesses the CP2103-based deviceas it would access a standard hardware COM port. However, actual data transfer between the PC and the CP2103device is performed over the USB interface. Therefore, existing COM port applications may be used to transferdata via the USB to the CP2103-based device without modifying the application. See “AN197: SerialCommunications Guide for the CP210x” for example code for interfacing to a CP2103 using the Virtual COMdrivers.
8.2. USBXpress DriversThe Silicon Laboratories USBXpress drivers provide an alternate solution for interfacing with CP2103 devices. Noserial port protocol expertise is required. Instead, a simple, high-level application program interface (API) is used toprovide simpler CP201x connectivity and functionality. The USBXpress for CP210x Development Kit includesWindows device drivers, Windows device driver installers and uninstallers, and a host interface function library(host API) provided in the form of a Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL). The USBXpress driver set isrecommended for new products that also include new PC software. The USBXpress interface is described in“AN169: USBXpress® Programmer's Guide.”
8.3. Driver CustomizationIn addition to customizing the device as described in “7. Internal EEPROM” , the drivers and the drivers installationpackage can be also be customized. See “AN220: USB Driver Customization” for more information on generatingcustomized VCP and USBXpress drivers.
8.4. Driver CertificationThe default drivers that are shipped with the CP2103 are Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs)certified. The certification means that the drivers have been tested by Microsoft, and their latest operating systems(XP and Vista) allow the drivers to be installed without any warnings or errors.
The customized drivers generated using the AN220 software are not automatically certified. They must go firstthrough the Microsoft Driver Reseller Submission process. Contact Silicon Laboratories support for assistance withthis process.

9. Voltage Regulator
The CP2103 includes an on-chip 5 to 3 V voltage regulator. This allows the CP2103 to be configured as either aUSB bus-powered device or a USB self-powered device. These configurations are shown in Figures 7 and 8.When enabled, the 3 V voltage regulator output appears on the VDD pin and can be used to power external 3 Vdevices. See Table 11 for the voltage regulator electrical characteristics.
Alternatively, if 3 V power is supplied to the VDD pin, the CP2103 can function as a USB self-powered device withthe voltage regulator disabled. For this configuration, it is recommended that the REGIN input be tied to the 3 V netto disable the voltage regulator. This configuration is shown in Figure 9.
The USB max power and power attributes descriptor must match the device power usage and configuration. See“AN144: CP21xx Device Customization Guide” for information on how to customize USB descriptors for theCP2103.
Note: It is recommended that additional decoupling capacitance (e.g., 0.1 µF in parallel with 1.0 µF) be provided on the REGINinput.
